âYou arenât her real Holy Saint, so you donât have to listen to her words at all. As you can see, my sister
had, in fact, no regard for you at all. Youâre just a pawn. She planned to sacrifice your lives to fulfill her
d*mn vocation.â
âEverything she said is false. Sheâs a drama queen through and through. Itâs not too late for you guys to
stop, lest the spell formation will drain your flesh, blood, and soul dry.â
âI can help you to get out of her control temporarily and open a passage to leaveâ¦â
Artemisâ words shocked Alex and Donovan deeply. With the effects of the scepter and the golden
shield, they did feel the Chi on their bodies constantly flowing away.
The Chi was flowing away at this moment, but wouldnât that be equivalent to the loss of their lives after
the Chi was gone?
Nobody wanted to die!
âDonât worry,â said Athena. âYou guys will be fine. Just hang in there.â
She increased the output.
Artemis activated the mystic art. After all, she was Athenaâs little sister, so she wasnât weak by any
standard. Even if she had been tricked and was trapped inside Rashomon, she still had her trump card.
She spat out a beam of blue light from her mouth, a magical treasure.
It instantly self destructed, shaking the space and blowing up a spatial hole out of it.
Pitch-black, nobody knew where it led to.
The explosion even disabled the confinement spell on Alex and Donovan temporarily.
âGo!â Artemis yelled.
The next second, the golden light on Athena glowed again, enveloping Alex and Donovan.
Swoosh!
Donovan jumped into it.
Alex was a bit slower because he was a little scared of the densely packed Abyssal Demon Bugs on
Artemis. Subconsciously, he thought that there were serious consequences if he gave up helping
Athena after listening to Artemisâ words.
However, the kind of battle before his eyes was not something a weakling like him could join. He still
wanted to stay alive.
He still had many people and things that he could not let go of.
Hence, he jumped into the spatial black hole as well. However, such benevolence caused him to lose
the opportunity, as Athena had shattered the spatial black hole. If Alex were to rush in now, he would
most likely be decapitated.
âD*mn, Iâm really the most miserable.â
It was too late for Alex to regret it. Why did his heart become soft?
âHey, beauty. Do you want to blast out another passage so that I can leave too?â he hurriedly said to
Artemis.
Artemis sneered. âYou wonât have a chance. Although one shield is gone, itâs just enough to have you.
Iâll grant you a glorious death.â
âUmmâ¦â
Only then did Alex notice that Donovan had taken away Athenaâs golden shield.
Seeing that Artemis had become fearless and had toughened up again due to strong backing, Alex
also began to make up his mind. âFine! Youâre just that dumb Undead Queenâs lapdog. Do you think Iâm
afraid of you? Even the Undead Queen has to kneel if she comes over, let alone a servant like you.â
âWhat did you say?!â
Artemis was infuriated. If gazes could kill people, Alex would have died countless times.
She and Alex glared at each other. Now, the furnace of forbidden spells that the ninety nine golden
cores had formed in his body spun wildly. He said with a smile, âI said, youâre someone elseâs lap dog.
Woof, woof, woof! How about it? Come out and bite me if you think you can!â
Having said that, he said to Athena, âMask, tell me what do you want to do. Iâll cooperate with you fully
and make sure to kill this traitor of mankind.â
Athena said, âIâm not going to kill her. Artemis is my little sister. I just wanted to help her get purified.â
âUmmâ¦â
Artemis burst into laughter. âMortal brat, did you hear that? You canât kill me. You wonât have a chance
either. Wait for me to kill you! I can still kill you even if I have been purified.â
Alex scratched his head and said with a sigh , âDoes that mean thereâs no room for negotiation? You
both sisters joined forces to trick an honest man like me.â
Having said that, he suddenly threw the scepter to the ground with a clang. He had regained his
freedom completely.
